Could work out

Newegg
24 March 2008
  • Summary: I'm not trying to put this card down, unless I come up with a bigger budget(maximus & DDR3 size), I'll buy this for my next build. Just have to pick a different case t...
  • Pros: I own the basic P5K. This card has more SATA and USB ports. It also supports RAID without having to use external SATA. I paid the same price for the P5K last year and ...
  • Cons: Look at the main pwr con. location. Who wants to run a cable across the middle of their MB.(have fun trying to mount a ZALMAN). The only solution I can see, would be a...

  • Pros: A bit smaller than the normal ATX form boards I'm used to which makes them easier to mount. At first i was only detecting 1 GB RAM, but after installing the software o...
  • Cons: The RAM slots are very close to the PCI-E slot. If you have large fingers, be careful. The IDE plug is a bit further away than what I'm used to so I couldnt use my old...

Freakin Awesome

Newegg
30 April 2008
  • Summary: I may not know alot of computer software, but I'll know how good something is when I see it. From what I can see this motherboard is definitely worth it for the price.

  • Cons: Only real problem I had was with the placement of some of the sockets.

Newegg
29 April 2008
  • Summary: Too many people buy something and then seem to cry if it won’t fit in the case or the connector isn’t in the right spot even when they have a picture of it to look at ...
  • Pros: Well I looked at a lot of boards (about all on Newegg) and this one looked good to me. I need a board with the power supply connector right were it is on this board fo...
  • Cons: Didnt jump in the case and let me watch tv

Surprising Good - So Far

Newegg
22 May 2008
  • Summary: After fooling around for two months or more with the Gigabyte board telling me that I had bad memory (after 4 different sets of memory, figured it much be just a hardw...
  • Pros: After replacing a Gigabyte Motherboard, I was surprised I didn't need to re-install windows.
  • Cons: Memory states only 3.25 gigs in windows, bios read 4 gig. Not so much a con rather just stating an observation.

Good Board!

Newegg
04 June 2008
  • Summary: board didn't detect my ram, had to manually set it to 1066 in the bios. Also, flashing it to the latest bios v.1002, it wouldn't overclock the q6600 anymore over 2.7. ...
  • Pros: Installed the board, booted no problem. Overclocks q6600 to 3.0ghz no problem, using an arctic cooler freezer pro 7.
  • Cons: It might just be my case, but with an oversized video card, i couldnt connect my front panel wiring to the hd audio connector.

31 May 2008
  • Summary: Newegg is #1! No hassle RMA was handled promptly.
  • Pros: Lots of features in a small foot print. Seemed like it would be a good board for Core2 3.0Ghz + 4 GB memory system. 24/7 phone support is unusual in this industry.
  • Cons: One week of frustration. Board would not post with 4 x 1GB Patriot memory(all settings on auto). Board would boot with one or two sticks but XP would mysteriously BSD ...

Hmm

Newegg
29 May 2008
  • Summary: This thing didn't come with any screws; I don't think it's supposed to (it's not on the package contents list), but that's strange to me. I had to use my old motherboa...
  • Pros: Very sleek black look. Bios gives a lot of options. A lot of USB ports. Rest of the pros are in the specs, pretty powerful motherboard.
  • Cons: The IDE controller on this motherboard is at the bottom, in order for my IDE cable to reach my dvd burner and an old hdd I use for storage, I had to move the burner to...
